“. . . We Have Made a Covenant with DEATH, and with HELL Are We at Agreement; “. We have made a covenant with DEATH, and with HELL are we at agreement;. .” Isaiah 28:15 Dr. Terry Watkins www.av1611.org 2 Terry Watkins When you hear the word "halloween" what images appear? What "spirit" is invoked at the whisper of Halloween? Halloween openly promotes death, devils, witches and flagrant "appearances of evil" (1 Thess. 5:22). Halloween leaves most people scratching their heads questioning, "How and where did Halloween come from"? This article unearths the hellish tomb of Halloween to exhume its sinister "covenant with death and hell." Halloween began over 2,000 years ago among the Celts and their pagan priests called the Druids. The Druids are, without question, history’s king of the occult. Witchcraft, Satanism, paganism and virtually all facets of the occult acquire instruction from the Druids. From the popular jack-o’-lantern, trick-or-treat, costumes, to the pranks, ghoulish ghosts, demons, goblins and witches – Halloween owes its morbid birth to the Druids. Halloween—the day itself is of Druidic origin. (Myers, Robert J. Celebrations: The Complete Book of American Holidays, p. 258) The mystic rites and ceremonies with which Hallow’en was originally observed had their origin among the Druids. (Douglas, George William. The American Book of Days, p. 566) The Druids celebrated two special nights of the year: Beltane and Samhain. Beltane took place on May 1 and marked the birth of summer. Samhain occurred on November 1 and signified the death of summer. Samhain, a night celebrating death and hell, was the Druids most important ritual. It was a terrifying night of human sacrifices. And it was the original Halloween. The Druids believed, during Samhain, the mystic veil separating the dead from the living opened. The Druids taught these roaming spirits loosed on Samhain went searching for a body to possess. The frightened Celts would masquerade as demons, evil spirits and ghosts, hoping to convince the roaming evil spirits, they were another evil spirit, and leave them alone. The Celts also prepared meals as "treats" to appease the evil spirits from "tricks" or malicious acts; hence our custom of "trick or treat." The Druids performed horrifying human sacrifices and other vile rituals during Samhain. Let there be no doubt—Samhain night was a terrifying "covenant with death, and with hell." And let there be no doubt – Samhain was the original Halloween night. All histories of Halloween inevitably wind back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. (Skal, David J. Death Makes a Holiday: The Cultural History of Halloween, p. 20) Halloween had its origins in the festival of Samhain among the Celts of ancient Britain and Ireland. (Encyclopedia Britannica 2005 "Halloween") Halloween can be traced directly back to Samhain, the ancient Celtic harvest festival honoring the Lord of the Dead. (Thompson, Sue Ellen. Holiday Symbols and Customs, p. 251) The rituals of the Druids reek from the deepest hell. Their most repulsive activities involve their human sacrifices of children on the night of Samhain or Halloween. First-born sacrifices are mentioned in a poem in the Dindshenchas, which records that children were sacrificed each Samhain . (Rogers, Nicholas. Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night, p. 17) Halloween. That was the eve of Samhain . firstborn children were sacrificed. Samhain eve was a night of dread and danger. (National Geographic. May 1977, pp. 625-626) The Druids would drink their victim’s blood and eat their flesh. Halloween: A Covenant with Death and Hell 3 They [Druids] sacrificed victims by shooting them with arrows, impaling them on stakes, stabbing them, slitting their throats over cauldrons (and then drinking the blood). (Guiley, Rosemary Ellen. Harper’s Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience, p. 167) Therefore we cannot too highly appreciate our debt to the Romans for having put an end to this monstrous cult, whereby to murder a man was an act of the greatest devoutness, and to eat his flesh most beneficial. (Pliny, Natural History, xxx, 13) The Druids "counted it an honourable thing" to eat their father’s flesh and perform incest with their mothers and sisters. since they are man-eaters as well as heavy eaters, and since, further, they count it an honourable thing, when their fathers die, to devour them, and openly to have intercourse, not only with the other women, but also with their mothers and sisters;. (Strabo, Geography) May I remind you, this is what occurred on the original Halloween night! Today, Halloween lives and breathes with the foul stench of the diabolical Druids. The Druids also celebrated the festival of Beltane. The word Beltane (Beltaine, Beltinne, Beltain, Beiltein) literally means the "fires of Bel." Bel is the same god called Baal, found over 80 times in the King James Bible. The Lord condemns Baal worship probably more than any other false "god." . then the Druids lit the Baal-Tinne, the holy, goodly fire of Baal. (Wilde, Lady Francesca Speranza. Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland) The god whom the Druids worshipped was Baal, as the blazing Baal-fires show, and . children were offered in sacrifice to Baal. (Hislop, Alexander. The Two Babylons, p. 232) • HALLOWEEN: BAAL WORSHIP • The original Halloween was a hellish night of Baal worship and child sacrifice. And most of our current Halloween customs derived directly from Baal rituals! On November first was Samhain [Halloween] . Fires were built as a thanksgiving to Baal. (Kelley, Ruth Edna, The Book of Hallowe'en, Lothrop, Lee and Shepard Co. Boston, 1919) The mystic rites and ceremonies with which Hallow’en was originally observed had their origin among the Druids . ancient Baal festivals from which many of the Hallow’en customs are derived. (Douglas, George William. The American Book of Days, p. 569) Baal is also a synonym for the devil. (Burns, Cathy. Masonic and Occult Symbols Illustrated, p. 327) Halloween glorifies death in worship to Baal or the devil! The Druid festival of Samhain was a celebration of death. Strutting its hellish death images of skulls, skeletons, ghosts, demons, devils and incarnate evil – today’s Halloween glorifies Death. David Skal titled his history of Halloween—Death Makes a Holiday: 4 Terry Watkins The grand marshal of the Halloween parade is, and always has been, Death. (Skal, David J. Death Makes a Holiday: The Cultural History of Halloween, p. 18) Halloween can be traced directly back to Samhain, the ancient Celtic harvest festival honoring the Lord of the Dead. (Thompson, Sue Ellen. Holiday Symbols and Customs, p. 251) The Devil glorifies death. Hebrews 2:14 says, ". that through death he [Jesus] might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;" Proverbs 8:36 says all they that hate the Lord ". love death." Revelation 6:8 says the rider of the antichrist’s pale horse, ". and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." • THE ORDINATION OF HALLOWEEN • Understanding the hellish history of Halloween—why in the world did decent people so embrace it? What magic "trick" transformed rancid Samhain into the giddy Halloween? As the Catholic missionaries swarmed Britain and Ireland seeking the mass conversion to Catholicism their orders from Pope Gregory in 601 A.D. was to cunningly convert the Druid rituals into Catholic rituals. The Catholics converted the ritual of Samhain into the festival of All Saint’s Day, a day of celebration and prayer to dead "Saints." Halloween begins well over 2,000 years ago in the British Isles. Here, we find the holiday stripped to its most essential element: a night when Celtic tribes communed with the spirits of the ancestral dead. These grand and glorious pagan celebrations were assimilated by the Catholic church. Rather than extinguish old customs, the church leaders provided Christian versions of them: from the Middles Ages on, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day replaced the ancient Celtic celebrations of the dead. (Bannatyne, Lesley Pratt, Halloween: An American Holiday, an American History, Facts on File, Inc., New York, 1990 p. x) The Catholic festival of All Saints Day was also known as All Hallows Day, with the word "hallow" replacing "saints." The day before All Hallows Day (October 31) was recognized as All Hallows Eve. Eventually, All Hallows Eve became Hallows Eve; hallow’even; hallow’en and ultimately today’s Halloween. All Saints' Day perpetuated the pagan Samhain of November Eve. (Bonwick, James, Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, Dorset Press, 1984 (1986ed), p.87) Many traditional beliefs and customs associated with Samhain . continued to be practiced on 31 October, known as the Eve of All Saints, the Eve of All Hallows, or Hallows Even. It is the glossing of the name Hallow Even that has given us the name Hallowe’en. (Santino, Jack editor, Halloween and Other Festivals of Death and Life, The University of Tennessee Press, Knoxville, TN 1994 p. xvi) In 835, Pope Gregory IV "blessed" All Saint’s Day as a sacred "day of obligation," consequently on that day, the Catholic Church officially "ordained" Halloween. Halloween owes its very life and breath to the "blessing" of the Catholic Church. Samhain would have breathed its last breath many years ago if not for the "ordination" of the Catholic Church. Few holidays have a stranger or more paradoxical history than Halloween. Technically, it is the vigil of All Saints Day, observed by Roman Catholics . Halloween has clear connections with the rites of the druidic priests. (Douglas, George William, revised by Helene Douglas Compton, The American Book of Days, The H.W. Wilson Company, New York, 1948, p. 741) Halloween: A Covenant with Death and Hell 5 A perverse and blasphemous twist to Halloween concerns the name "Halloween." The word "hallow" means "holy, sanctify or consecrate." The popular Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9 begins with, ".

  • The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor Lavey
    Called “The Black Pope” by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival: “On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half‐naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent‐show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they’d be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence. “I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man’s carnal nature will out!” From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966– Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft–LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man’s body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. “Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure,” he said, “there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence. .” The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor LaVey For Diane Dedications To: Bernadino Logara, who knew the value of money Karl Haushofer, a teacher without a classroom Rasputin, who knew the magic of a child Sir Basil Zaharoff, a gentleman Cagliostro, a rogue Barnabas Saul, the link with Mount Lalesh Ragnar Redbeard, whose might is right William Mortensen, who looked .

    “Playing with Art and Artifice: Religious Satanism as Total Environment” Cimminnee Holt1 Introduction “The essence of any magical working is a complete evocation. It is more important to experience total emotional response to one’s environment than all the ‘occult’ knowledge in the world.” – Anton Szandor LaVey2 Anton Szandor LaVey’s (1930-1997) founding of the Church of Satan (CoS) in 1966 was a significant shift in satanic discourse. LaVey is arguably the originator of modern Satanism as a cohesive, codified religion, but there is a long history of how the figure of Satan has been interpreted and reinterpreted by theologians, artists, and philosophers alike. The Hebraic ha-satan in the Book of Job translates as “the Satan,” a designation meaning “the Adversary” or “the Accuser” (Job 1:6 NRSV).3 The Satan is not opposed to God; he is among God’s messengers (mal’āk), a servant in the divine court.4 Under Christian theological interpretations, an accusation of being “satanic” becomes a rhetorical tool to denigrate heretics, pagans, and Jews as the perceived enemies of Christianity.5 In the Enlightenment, Satan’s narrative is reinterpreted yet again, as artists, philosophers, and writers portray satanic figures as a symbol of intellectual non-conformity and sexual liberation, as suavely challenging conventions and the status quo.6 Satan has 1 Concordia University 2 Anton Szandor LaVey, The Devil’s Notebook (Los Angeles: Feral House, 1992), 77. 3 The Hebrew text translates as: “One day the heavenly beings came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them”; Job 1:6.

    Confronting the Constitutional Order: Reconciling Satan and the Free Exercise of Religion Julia Wells Honors Defense Date: May 8, 2020 Thesis Advisor: Professor Jenna Reinbold Defense Committee: Professor Christopher Vecsey Professor Benjamin Stahlberg 1 In defending the separation of church and state, James Madison wrote, “The Religion…of every man must be left to the conviction and conscience of every man; and it is the right of every man to exercise it as these may dictate.”1 The crux of Madison’s argument was that if the government were allowed to interfere in people’s religious choices, the government would be able to choose or remove people’s religious practices at will. In Madison's conception, one's freedom of conscience precedes one's commitment to the government, and therefore shouldn't be within the power of government to regulate. Since the founding of the United States, religious freedom has been one of the most venerated values, but determining which religions are afforded religious freedom has historically been very contentious. This principle of freedom of conscience was translated into the U.S. Constitution in the form of the very first words of the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”2 The establishment clause prevents the government from creating a state church, while the free exercise clause limits the government’s ability to force people to act in violation of their religion. Limiting government engagement with religion is difficult everywhere, but it is especially difficult for the U.S.

Lewis University of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, USA Dept. of Philosophy and Religious Studies eMail: [email protected] We have a bible. We have a pro-human dogma. We have a church. We have a tradition. - From the Church of Satan's official website. The status of The Satanic Bible as an authoritative scripture-or, perhaps more accurately, as a kind of quasi-scripture-within the Satanic subculture was initially brought to my attention during my first face-to-face encounter with Satanists in the Spring of 2000. Via the internet, I had found a small Satanist group in Portage, Wisconsin, which was about an hour south of where I resided at the time. This group, the Temple of Lylyth, distinguishes itself from Anton LaVey's brand of Satanism chiefly by its emphasis on feminine nature of the Dark Power. I arranged to meet with them in Portage on a Friday evening in connection with a research project on which I was working at the time. Over the course of our conversation, the founder and then leader of the group mentioned that on Friday evenings he was usually downtown where a small group of fervent Christians regularly set up what might be called a "preaching station" to spread the Gospel. This young fellow (he was nineteen at the time) would confront them as a practicing Satanist.

  • Information for Prison Chaplains
    Church of Satan PO Box 666, Poughkeepsie, NY 12602-0666 www.churchofsatan.com [email protected] Information for Prison Chaplains Church History Founded on April 30, 1966 in San Francisco by Anton Szandor LaVey, the Church of Satan is the first above-ground religious organization dedicated to the acceptance of Man’s nature as an animal living in a cosmos that is indifferent to his existence. To Satanists, Satan is a symbol who represents pride, liberty, and individualism—qualities often defined as "Evil" by people who believe in and worship external deities. Satanism is thus not Devil worship. There is no belief in God, Satan, the soul, the supernatural or in any form of afterlife. LaVey had a background in the circus and carnival, playing both organ and calliope for the performers and even spent time as a lion tamer. He also worked freelance as a photographer for the San Francisco Police department and thus his earthy experiences led him to reject religions in general as being unrealistic in their beliefs. He saw existing religions as a means for controlling the masses, and since most people seem to want and need some sort of unearthly parental figure, he considered that most religions had been invented to meet that need. But LaVey noticed throughout history that there were iconoclastic men, creative thinkers who were not believers, such as Nietzsche, George Bernard Shaw, Mark Twain, Lord Byron, Charles Baudelaire and others, who saw Satan as not representing "Evil," but as a figure who embodied human resistance to authority, who championed the pleasures of life on earth, who saw through falsehoods and accepted the harsh realities of life.

    The modern role of the occult in society. Witches, Satanists, Vampires, Horror films, Halloween, and more. By Brent MacDonald Introduction The themes of Halloween deserve more than a once a year cursory look. Topics many people feel are only worth examining in the few weeks prior to Halloween have grown in popularity year round — within the entertainment industry and in growing segments of the population. The last number of decades have seen a rise in Satanism, witchcraft, and even vampirism. Beyond these blatant categories, societies' growing craving for the occult has prompted us to create this new publication entitled "Hell-o-ween All Year Round." Our three previous versions of the booklet entitled "Hell-o-ween: A Christian Perspective" were our most requested publication for a six year period. While these earlier booklets grew in completeness with each revision, they failed to provide comprehensive details on Satanism, witchcraft and other areas. Perhaps this additional information was unnecessary in a mere examination of the popular celebration of Halloween — but not within the context of a detailed look at the growth of the occult. The diversity we found, in occultic beliefs and practices, have required individual sections for each of a number of topics. These sections at times may appear to totally unrelated. While some ties to Halloween may be addressed in each section, the overall significance and celebration of Halloween has been reserved for the final segments. While some may question the quantity of details provided, we feel it is important to accurately represent the practices discussed. One of the greatest complaints, by occult practitioners of virtually all stripes, is the 2 perceived and often very real misrepresentation of their beliefs by others — especially Christians.

I chose it as the subject of my Maturity Work knowing almost nothing more except the fact that LaVey was the founder of the Church of Satan , and author of The Satanic Bible . Therefore the structure of my work came slowly into being, only after many readings and discussions on the subject, and in fact, it never stopped evolving until the end.
